Overview

Days after reports revealed that 32% of eligible government doctors declined promotions to professor positions in Andhra Pradesh's Government Medical Colleges (GMCs), a similar trend has emerged in the secondary healthcare sector. Again, 59% of eligible doctors have now refused promotions to the post of District Coordinators of Health Services (DCHS), prompting serious concern from Health Minister Y Satya Kumar Yadav.

High Rate of Refusal in DCHS Promotions

During the latest promotion process, 50 out of 85 eligible doctors rejected promotions to DCHS, despite six existing vacancies and two more expected soon. This reluctance follows the recent refusal of 33% of eligible government doctors to accept promotions to professor positions in GMCs.
